Legislative Update:
LetOhioVote.org, the
group pushing for a statewide November ballot issue
aimed at barring Ohio
racetracks from installing video lottery terminals (VLTs)
at their facilities,
has submitted an additional 155,000 signatures
to the Secretary of State
for approval that would
give them enough signatures to place the issue on the November ballot.
The
language in House
Bill 1 (HB 1) is the implementation language needed to allow Governor Ted
Strickland's Executive
Order for VLTs to go forward. Both horsemen's representatives stated that Ohio horsemen supported
the concept of VLTs at
the racetracks & expected a fair & equitable amount of revenue for
horsemen. If the HB 1 languageis on the November ballot,
the Ohio horse racing industry must come
together for a strong
grassroots campaign to pass the language which will allow
the Governor's
Executive Order
to move forward.
